A simple transport model for ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is proposed to investigate the effect of Pauli blocking, in the transition from the hadron phase to parton phase, on the hadronic final state. A boost invariant study of the Pauli blocking is implemented in the Monte Carlo simulation for the first time. It turns out that this partonic Pauli effect on the final hadron multiplicity in a nucleus-nucleus collision is negligible at SPS energy, around two percent at RHIC energy, but reaching ten percent at LHC energy. The higher reaction energy the stronger is the partonic Pauli effect.
